Integrated WCD "Warp drive" chassis
I'm working on a off-season drive train project for our team. It takes some cues from the WCD.

It's made from 3 X 3" .120" box tube and uses the VEX ball shifter with a modified 3 stage with 34:50 gearing. The rear VersaWheel is directly driven and then chained to the middle VersaWheel with two sprockets, This wheel is then chained to the 3rd.

The top of the chain runs inside the tube on and outside on the bottom chain for easy tensioning.

Has anyone done anything similar to this? Any comments?
